Friendly International
In the first h2h in these Qualifiers, Spain won 2:0. However, Spain dominated and deserved to win by at least a four-goal difference. They had 3.93 xG compared to Georgia's 0.01, and 83% ball possession vs Georgia's 17%, while also having 23 more goal attempts.
Looking further back, these teams met a total of nine times. Spain managed to win all nine games while covering the -1.5 AH spread on six occasions.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw three or more goals in five of nine games, while both teams scored in four of those games.
Georgia team overview
Georgia have never reached the World Cup in their history and has had only one EURO appearance. That was in the previous tournament in Germany when they managed to reach the knockout phase. In the UEFA Nations League, they did OK, securing survival in League B just before the WC Qualifiers. So, we can safely say they are doing a solid job, at least by their usual standards.
However, in the World Cup Qualifiers, they are in a tough situation as they have won just three points in the first four rounds. So, to have a chance of securing second place, they have to win both games vs Spain and Bulgaria, but Turkey also has to lose both and have a better goal difference. So, a pretty impossible task for the popular Crusaders.
For the upcoming games, Georgia will be without their main striker, Georges Mikautadze, who is out with an injury.

Spain team overview
Spain are one of the best national teams in the World and the current EURO champs. However, in the World Cup, they only had one title - in 2010 in South Africa. Before the WC Qualifiers, Spain did well in the UEFA Nations League A, reaching the Finals in the Playoffs but losing to Portugal after penalties.
In the World Cup Qualifiers, Spain won all four games with an incredible 15:0 goal difference. They only need one point from the remaining two games to secure a World Cup appearance.
For the upcoming two games, the team will be without Lamine Yamal, Gavi, and Rodri, who are out with injuries.

Prediction
Georgia lost three of four Qualifiers games, securing points only against the group's worst team, Bulgaria. On the other hand, Spain have been incredible, winning all four games with 15 scored goals - 3.75 per game. However, if their offense has been impressive, what can one say about their defense, considering they have kept a clean sheet in all four games?
If we look further back, Spain haven't lost a game (in regular time) in the last 24 games across the competitions!
Also, Spain dominated their h2h games, winning all nine games and the last five by at least two goals' difference. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and what we have seen from these teams in the Qualifiers, we expect a dominant win for the visitors.
3 Reasons why Spain should win and cover the -2 AH spread
- Georgia lost three out of the last four games
- Spain won all four WC Qualifiers with a 15:0 goal difference
- Spain won all nine h2h games
